Most certainly. In the country and the city I reside in Muslim people are plenty. And the majority people I come in contacted with are Muslims in the business sector. They loving and very kind people, so I do not see a problem at all, and yes I am catholic even if I don't talk about my beliefs
I traveled to Israel and Palestine last year and was quite a peaceful and nice trip with kind people everywhere.
I never even think to ask what religion somebody is, if any.
One's religion shouldn't impact on day to day conversation, friendship and collegiality.
They would have been summarily thrown into jail if they had not escaped.
Sometimes more good can be done from outside as inside.
It therefore seems to me to be the case that such a friendship is only possible in a place with a Christian\Catholic majority, as such places tend to have a more tolerant attitude to religion.
It also seems to me such friendships are only possible where no extremist tendencies are present, if any CS members has a formula to work out who is likely to become an extremist please do share it as governments across the world are struggling to find an answer to that question.
Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain, 20, was a student at Emory University in Atlanta, the United States. He had come to Dhaka, Bangladesh on 18 May to spend his summer holidays.
Faraaz went to the Holey Artisan Baker on 1 July evening with two foreign friends; Abinta Kabir, a US citizen and also a student of Emory University, and Tarushi Jain, an Indian national and student of the University of California, Berkeley.
The three were friends from the same school and all of them would be trapped inside as hostages when the restaurant was taken over by armed militants around 8:30pm.
An eye-witness account of one of the hostages was published in The New York Times newspaper on 2 July detailing the horrific acts of the militants.
In the report, Hishaam Hossain, Faraaz Hossain’s nephew, was quoted to have said that Faraz was given the opportunity to leave too, as he had heard an account from the hostages who were freed.
However, when the gunmen asked his accompanying friends their nationality, they said they were from India and the United States. The gunmen refused to release them, and Faraaz Hossain refused to leave them behind, his relative said.
He would be among those found dead on Saturday morning.
Faraaz refused to leave his friends behind at the hands of the militants. He stayed behind with his friends out of sheer selflessness.
so every muslim is not same. so come forward to make friendship with good muslims and make a safer world for next generation. don't stay away from muslims.
